A.How to Root N7100
Big Thanx to Chainfire and Chenglu for great work.
Select your choice from one of these
1. Root with Stock Recovery - It will give full root access but have stock recovery. You can set your flash counter '0' and so ready to claim warranty.If you want device full stock + root this is choice for you.
2. Root + Advanced CWM - This will give Root access as well advanced CWM - Here you can reset counter, but once reboot to recovery, it will raise flash counter, Find option to reset counter on every boot (only play store version).
3.Root with ExynosAbuse apk - simply install apk to gain root access. (wont work on latest 4.1.2 ROM, Jan 2013/LL7 and later)
1.Root with Stock Recovery - CF auto Root from Chainfire - can keep counter '0'

How to Unroot and make status Normal

Restart device and wait for 10 min. and then you can check status.
Reseting Counter
Above method will raise flash counter and you will need to reset counter to reclaim warranty, Read next post for it (post#3)
B.ESF Backup - First thing i do recommend after rooting.
EFS Backup
Why so?
EFS folder contains some important and some basic info related to our device identity like Wi-Fi address, Bluetooth MAC address and the very main IMEI address (nv_data.bin).
Now if this EFS partition accidently corrupted then your phone’s IMEI no. will erased and you can not make voice call further. This kind of damage is often not accepted by the service center of your respected handset’s company.
Here your backup can only be savior for you.
C.How to Unroot :
- This is commonly needed before sending it to service station and reclaim warranty.
1.As discussed in post #3 if you have any custom recovery/Kernel first you need to replace it with stock one. Post #6 of this thread having stock recovery/Kernel.If you have custom ROM, then you will have to flash stock ROM.(you can use mobie odin to keep root intact to reset counter)
2.You need to use Triangle away if your binnary count is non zero (read post #3)
3.Once your flash counter is 'No' then you can simply unroot from superSU setting
if your device status is -Modified, you can do this trick to reset to normal
setting - appl manager - All - clear data for SysScope as well Enterprise SysScope
This should change system setting to Normal
If still you have modified status, you can wipe cache and data from recovery.
If still it doesn't change status, try removing Ext SD card
4. This is optional but full proof method to unroot and won't leave any footprint of previous root.(provided you flash counter is 'No')
-Flash Stock ROM with PC Odin
-Wipe cache and data.

So which one I should select? OR Which one is better? All Methods are given by elite developer and all are good, but having its cons and pros. e.g. Method 1: Disadvantage : Here you will get full root access, but here recovery will remain stock, so you won't have option to flash zip files (still you can flash zip with Mobile Odin), but you won't have any option for Nandroid backup/Restore. Advantage : You have to reset flash counter once only, then whenever you need to reset to unroot/ready to claim warranty, just you need to go to superSU - setting - unroot. So If you are Flash counter conscious and really don't have need for nandroid backup, This one is for You. Method 2: Disadvantage : Note2 having auto check sum boot loader and it will check for custom things on every boot. So rooting with this method your counter will remain 1, even if you have reset it with triangle away. Though one possibility is there to reset counter, you have to use market version of Triangle Away with option 'Reset counter on every boot'. But keep in mind this option only available if your kernel support this, stock kernel won't support it. Again before claiming warranty you need to flash stock recovery. Advantage : You will have feature rich recovery like flashing zip from recovery and Nandroid backup/Restore. So If you are not much worrying about flash counter or warranty and you really need Nandroid backup, This one is for you. Method 3: - (wont work on latest 4.1.2 ROM, Jan 2013/LL7 and later) Advantage :Biggest thing you can disable exploit and make device safer. Easiest, No PC Needed. Simply install apk to root device, No flashing/Resetting counter needed. Disadvantage :Camera issue on some FW, but reversible by enabling exploit in one click |

Note : normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery. If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery) when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm |
Step 2 :
Now reboot to recovery and flash superSu and busy box file from recovery, which you have copied to Sd card and reboot system
Done ! you should have SuperSU application in drawer. Read post#3 regarding how to reset counter.
